Runnin' Outa Time

Verse I Yesterday was a small town in Texas With a railroad track runnin' near our back yard I used to wonder where that ol' train was bound for As I sat up in a tree and counted the cars When I grew older that ramblin' fever took me With momma's bible in my suitcase I left home If I knew then of the years that lay before me Guess I'd have stayed there at home where I belonged Pre A young man's gotta see all he can see He'll never know the price he's payin' 'til he gets old Ramblin' around from town to town and to the cities He soon finds out that life can be so cold Hey but time has a way of changin' everything Time has a way of changin' lives I've been on the road too long Too far away from home And the memories are so much sweeter than the wine Now I'm runnin' on empty And runnin' outa' time Verse II I see the age in my eyes in the rearview mirror As I turn down a familiar blacktop road I can see some of the memories so much clearer And I know I don't have much further to carry this load I know momma's gonna' run outside so she can greet me And I'll be so glad I've found my way home But I laugh to myself, who am I foolin' (Spoken) That ol' train, like yesterday, is gone Repeat Pre-Chrous Repeat Chorus Tag Yeah I'm runnin' on empty And runnin' outa' time
